This is an important space to think about, it just doesn't seem to have much to do with your claim of a shift from making things to not making them, as part of the general evolution of the country. That shift has not been happening. We are still making as many things; they are just not always the same things and fewer people are involved in that making. Even the growth only had 2 major interruptions on the chart: the 2008 financial crisis and COVID. The former was caused by financialization leading to too much supply of certain kinds of housing, not too little manufacturing. The latter was a black swan event, which was exacerbated by general lack of preparation for that sort of thing more or less everywhere outside of China.

If your claim is that the west should look for ways to address Chinese manufacturing dominance, I actually agree entirely! That is something that will most likely require steps relatively soon. However, in my assessment, attempting to bring back masculine-coded manufacturing jobs (through any means I have seen seriously proposed) is likely to have the opposite of that effect. The biggest competitive advantage the US has in this area is the capital to build out the very sort of automation that is replacing these jobs -- and this kind of action would be giving up that advantage.
